Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

The night before last I dreamed that I got into a toy store and they had original Jurassic Park dinosaur action figures. I was so excited, because I didn't have some of them yet and they weren't expensive. There were a few I already had an I wasn't sure if I should buy them.

The weird thing is... I dream the same thing so often. This must be the 10th time that I remember, the first dreams go back maybe 10 years.
And this time I only remembered because something made me think of Jurassic Park. So who knows how often I dream about finding Jurassic Park toys and I don't remember it?? :confused:

And Typhoid, that sounds like a cool dream.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

No, my dreams all suck - because I actually can actually feel the pain that I'm feeling in the dream, and when I wake up, I vividly remember how it felt, though never experiencing it. Like I was looking back on a memory, that type of thing.

I've been shot in my dreams before, and that was the scariest thing ever - because I remember how it felt, I could taste iron, the hollow yet numb feeling in the place I got shot, my vision faded slowly, my hearing deafened out, and my heartbeat got louder and louder. Then again I was probably just having a seizure.:lolz:

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

That's so weird... and scary.
Has it ever inspired you to write stories?

I like those things where you're almost asleep and you dream that you fall. You wake up kicking vividly. Your body thinks the stuff in your mind is real...

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

You should start a dream blog. I've debated taking notes on my dreams but I'm an apathetic son of a bitch. Usually if I don't take mental note or write it down I forget my dream within 5 minutes of being awake. I'd read if you posted a dream blog.

I debated posting this in Ric's thread but I think this is more appropriate. Has anyone just drifted off into sleep and had a dream where they are falling into ice or stepping in a hole, and then you actually kick your leg like you are falling and wake up? I don't know what this particular phenomenon is because when you fall asleep your body turns off your muscle control so you don't move/hurt yourself in sleep. But it only happens when I fall into a dream right when I'm falling asleep.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

Yeah I have that sometimes (I think I posted about it in the last few days?). It's weird how the mind works...

A while ago I knew that I was in that stage between being awake and sleeping. I dreamed/thought that somebody hit me in the face. I shook awake from the hit. I was amazed that my body reacted to that even though I realized that it was just my thoughts.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

Hmm. Maybe. A lot of mine are so personal they'd be boring to most everyone else. Also I remember my dreams so well that I'll put off getting out of bed just so they become hazier and I'll only have to write down the gist of the dream. If I remember something I feel like I'm forced to write it down, and some of these go on and on and on.

Here's a short one from last night with everyone's favorite penguin:

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

Great dream. :D

Tonight I had one of those personal boring ones. Then I continued to dream about fighting a big dragon in a World of Warcraft dungeon. I was the only one of the raid who wasn't afraid to fight it, which meant I didn't get any healing, and I had to run away all the time.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

Ok I had 3 quite weird dreams, one is worth sharing because it would be a nice script for a movie.

I don't remember how it ended. I think I woke up and thought about how it felt like movies as Donnie Darko, Identity, The Butterfly Effect, The Jacket. I think 'rubber reality' is the correct term.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

I hit a new low. I had a dream about writing a PM on GameTavern. (Twas asking KG for rap recommendations.) If there was ever a sign I spend too much time here, that's it.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

I've had terrible insomnia for the past few weeks, can't really sleep until 8am, and when I do sleep, my dreams are amazingly disturbing and overly stressful.

The dream I had last night was me and Dylflon's brother were in my basement watching TV, there was an annoyingly tinged light on, and 8 feet of snow outside. We couldn't leave the room because there was a zombie infestation and the local militia was going around shooting machine guns indiscriminately. Then it morphed into my hockey team hanging out in my basement, and I broke a skate. Zombie attack still loomed.

God damn zombies.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

Haha, perhaps you do spend too much time here...but on the other hand that is a very flattering dream. :p

I've had some weird dreams the past few days, but I lost one of them because I didn't write it down. The other one involved a tower that I had to climb and it was quite vivid....I've decided I want to start documenting my dreams and my childhood memories. I get a lot of random childhood memories that just come and go and I forget about them. I figure I should document them while I can find them.

The question is do I want to document this in a real notebook or on my google blogspot?

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

I dreamed I was on some kind of date program. Basically it was just about forming groups of young people who got to spend time together. But some of them took it very seriously, talking about how I wasn't to come close to a certain girl because she had their interest. And one guy told me how lucky I was that I was grouped with a particular girl (and not with 2 others).
I just wanted to have a good time and get to know all of those people. :confused:

KG: notebook first, blog if it's good enough.

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

I dreamed Nintendo announced a new Metroid game, which came with some kind of Virtual Reality accessoire. You could make your own games, play funny mini-games... And it came packed with Metroid Prime Trilogy.

In other news: there's a rumor that Nintendo will show a Zelda trailer at the Nintendo Business Media Summit early October. I don't think I dreamed that...

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

I've been having recurring Elevator dreams.

My dream journal has made me notice several things. One, it is difficult to recall dreams unless I write them down right away. This is problematic for several reasons, the biggest being that I am a lazy ass. The second reason is that I notice I often have several dreams in a night, especially if I wake up in the middle of the night. Do I want to role out of bed at 3am to type up a dream? Maybe I need a paper journal and a nightlight.

The second thing I have noticed is that I cannot jot down my thoughts for shit after waking up. My just-woken cognition and ability to punctuate is on par with my drunk self. This is problematic as I review my journal entries. I'm not cleaning them up or editing them for sake of honesty and good academic practice, but still...

Re: Let's talk about dreams.
 

All you need is pen and paper. No light. Just write down some words of the dream, and you'll remember 90% of it when you wake up.

At least that's my experience.
